Cardinals Caravan Plans Mid-January Stops in Central Illinois

ST. LOUIS - The St. Louis Cardinals announced their four-day, 21-city tour of the Midwest Tuesday.

That tour includes stops in Champaign, Mattoon, Decatur, and Springfield.

The annual event gives fans a chance to meet and ask questions of Cardinals players and alumni, enter drawings for prizes, and kids can get autographs from the players.

The Cardinals will again be implementing the Autograph Ticket system at each stop. The first 400 children (15 and under) through the door on the day of the event will receive a free Autograph Ticket which guarantees one autograph from each current and former player. Due to high demand, autographs will only be available for children 15 and under.
